Hegseth ‘acted within authority’ by using Signal for Houthi strikes, top Armed Services Republican says

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ‘acted within his authority’ by sharing sensitive details about Houthi strikes over Signal, Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker said after viewing a report from the Pentagon Inspector General (IG). 

‘It is clear from the reports that the Secretary acted within his authority to communicate the information in question to other cabinet level officials,’ the Mississippi Republican said in a statement. 

‘It is also clear to me that our senior leaders need more tools available to them to communicate classified information in real time and a variety of environments. I think we have some work to do in providing those tools to our national security leaders.’

U.S. officials often use Signal, an encrypted private messaging app, to communicate, even for sensitive information when they or the recipients of their messages are not near a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF).

Sources familiar with the report told Fox News that it had also determined Hegseth ‘created risks to operational security’ by sharing details of the March Houthi strikes with Cabinet officials over Signal. His actions ‘could have resulted in failed US mission objectives and potential harm to US pilots,’ one source familiar with the report said it determined. 

Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said of the report: ‘This Inspector General review is a TOTAL exoneration of Secretary Hegseth and proves what we knew all along – no classified information was shared. This matter is resolved and the case is closed.’

A classified version of the report has been handed over to the Senate Armed Services Committee and is available for members of the committee to view. An unclassified, redacted version will be made public on Thursday. 

Trump administration officials used Signal to discuss sensitive military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen in March. Then-national security advisor Mike Waltz had created the chat, which included many of Trump’s top Cabinet members, and inadvertently added Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of the Atlantic.

The IG launched a probe in April following requests from top lawmakers on Capitol Hill. It was intended to examine whether Secretary Pete Hegseth improperly discussed operational plans for a U.S. offensive against the Houthis in Yemen and will also review ‘compliance with classification and records retention requirements,’ according to a memo from Inspector General Steven Stebbins.

Hegseth’s Signal messages revealed F-18, Navy fighter aircraft, MQ-9s, drones and Tomahawks cruise missiles would be used in the strike on the Houthis.

‘1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package),’ Hegseth said in one message notifying the chat of high-level administration officials that the attack was about to kick off.

‘1345: ‘Trigger Based’ F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME – also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s),’ he added, according to the report.

‘1410: More F-18s LAUNCH (2nd strike package)’

‘1415: Strike Drones on Target (THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP, pending earlier ‘Trigger Based’ targets)’

‘1536 F-18 2nd Strike Starts – also, first sea-based Tomahawks launched.’

‘MORE TO FOLLOW (per timeline)’

‘We are currently clean on OPSEC’ — that is, operational security.

Waltz later wrote that the mission had been successful. ‘The first target — their top missile guy — was positively ID’d walking into his girlfriend’s building. It’s now collapsed.’

Trump administration officials have insisted that nothing classified was shared over the chat. The report should offer clarity on that claim.

Thursday will be a contentious day for the Pentagon — Adm. Frank M. Bradley, commander of Special Operations Command, will also be on Capitol Hill to offer his account of the Sept. 2 ‘double tap’ strike on alleged narco-traffickers. 

After one strike on a boat carrying 11 people and allegedly carting drugs toward the U.S. left two survivors clinging to the wreckage, Bradley ordered another to take out the remaining smugglers.

Lawmakers and legal analysts have claimed that killing shipwrecked survivors is a war crime. Bradley is briefing leaders on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. 

Original reporting by the Washington Post claimed that direction came from the top: Hegseth had directed the commander to ‘kill them all.’ But Hegseth claimed he issued no such directive and did not witness the second strike. He said Bradley made the decision on his own, but he stands by it. U.S. officials who spoke with the New York Times said Hegseth did not order the second strike.

Western Copper and Gold Partners with Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation to Support School and Daycare Meal Programs

western copper and gold corporation  (TSX: WRN) (NYSE American: WRN) (‘Western’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to contribute $75,000 to Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation (‘LSCFN’) to support meal and nutrition programs at Tantalus Community School and the LSCFN Daycare for the 202526 school year.

These programs deliver daily meals and snacks to children in Carmacks, ensuring students have access to reliable, healthy food throughout the school day. In recent months, changes to federal support funding programs have created uncertainty for many Yukon communities, resulting in delays and gaps in approvals for programs that families depend on. As a result, several school nutrition programs across the territory, including those in Carmacks, have faced challenges in maintaining consistent delivery.

LSCFN has worked diligently to keep its programs operating despite these pressures. Western’s contribution will help offset food purchasing, staffing, and program delivery costs so the community can maintain consistent services throughout the school year.

‘Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation appreciates the support from Western Copper and Gold to continue offering the nutrition programs at Tantalus Community School and our Dunena Zra Sanchi Ku Daycare,’ said Russel Blackjack, Chief of LSCFN. ‘Following the disappointing announcement that Canada would not be supporting these programs, LSCFN was committed to continuing to offer them. These programs are essential to our community’s children and families. They not only support nutrition, which ultimately plays a key role in learning outcomes for our children, but they provide employment opportunities for our citizens to support well-being and self-reliance. Mussi Cho.’

‘Ensuring children have access to nutritious meals is foundational to their health, learning, and development,’ said Sandeep Singh, President & CEO of Western. ‘We’re grateful to work alongside Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation in supporting these programs for the children and families of Carmacks. We see this as part of what it means to operate responsibly in the Yukon.’

The contribution is provided through Casino Cares, the Company’s community investment program focused on youth, education, and community well-being across the Yukon.

Western’s approach to community investment is grounded in partnership, respect, and the belief that strong relationships drive strong outcomes. As the Company advances the Casino Project, it remains committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen communities, enhance opportunities for youth, and contribute to a lasting positive legacy.

ABOUT LITTLE SALMON CARMACKS FIRST NATION’S NUTRITION AND WELLNESS PROGRAM

Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation has long prioritized programs that support the health, well-being, and success of children and families in the community of Carmacks. Through initiatives such as the Tantalus Community School meal program and the LSCFN Daycare food program, the First Nation provides daily access to nutritious meals and snacks, helping ensure students have the foundation they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

LSCFN’s approach to community wellness is guided by the Nation’s values, leadership, and commitment to self-determination. By developing and delivering their own child-focused programs, LSCFN advances First Nation control over essential services, strengthens culturally grounded support, and responds directly to the needs of families in their community.

The First Nation continues to advocate for sustainable, long-term solutions to education and nutrition funding in the Yukon, and remains dedicated to maintaining consistent, reliable programs that support student success and contribute to a strong future for Carmacks.

Sranan Gold Continues to Extend the Mineralized Zone at the Randy’s Pit Target, Tapanahony Project, Suriname

Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN,OTC:SRANF) (‘Sranan Gold’ or the ‘Company’) reports additional assay results from diamond drilling at the Randy’s Pit target on its Tapanahony Project, Suriname.

Highlights include 22.4m at 2.44 g/t Au in hole 25RADD-006 and 19m at 1.68 g/t Au in hole 25RADD-009. These new results (Table 1) continue to extend the mineralized structure along strike and with depth. The results build on the previously released (NR 04 November 2025) intercept of 64.0 metres grading 3.0 g/t Au (including 33.5 g/t Au over 5 m) in drill hole 25RADD-004. Sranan has now completed over 3,000 metres of drilling at Randy’s pit target and continues to demonstrate the continuity, and potential of the 4.5-km-long Randy–Poeketi gold Trend.

*Intercepts above 0.3 g/t Au with internal dilution up to 5m tolerated.

Widths shown are sampled intervals within the drill hole and may not represent true widths or thickness.

These new drill results continue to intersect multiple mineralized intervals within a wider shear corridor with zones of higher-grade mineralization. There is consistent mineralization within the upper and mid-levels of this west dipping shear system that support continuity between earlier holes and the holes reported in this release. A strong, broad interval is recognized in a central mineralized corridor that is trending along strike from the initial high-grade intercept in 25RADD-004 (see NR dated 04 November 2025).

The higher-grade intercepts reported in this release indicate that there is vertical and lateral continuity of the gold mineralization. The drilling completed to date supports the Company’s developing structural model of high-grade shoots within the north-north-west trending Poeketi shear corridor. The 19-metre interval in drill hole 25RADD-009 (see Figure1) is especially important as it represents an additional wide zone of continuous mineralization that is north of Randy’s pit.

Dr. Dennis LaPoint, EVP Exploration and Business Development states that ‘We are very pleased with the continued expansion of the mineralized trend at Randy’s pit along strike and at depth. The high grades are positive for future development as we continue to expand the mineralization at the Randy’s pit further to the north.’

The mineralized shear zone is hosted in basalt/mafic volcanic rock (see Figure 2) with strong sericite-silica alteration. Oriented core measurements confirm NNW striking shear zone, with slight crenulations and local brecciation. The presence of both pyrite and pyrrhotite is strongly associated with the mineralized shear corridor.

Nevada Sunrise Metals

Investor Insight

Nevada Sunrise Metals offers investors exposure to gold exploration and critical metals in one of Nevada’s most active and highly prospective gold belts, supported by advanced AI-driven target generation and a proven technical team guiding multiple discovery-stage projects.

Overview

Nevada Sunrise Metals (TSXV:NEV,OTCP:NVSGF) is a Nevada-focused mineral exploration company with a portfolio of gold, copper and lithium projects. Nevada was ranked the second most attractive exploration district in the world in 2024, providing a strong foundation for the Company’s growth strategy.

At the center of its portfolio is the Griffon Gold Mine project, a past-producing gold asset located within the prolific Battle Mountain–Eureka Trend. Griffon hosts Carlin-type mineralization, produced 62,661 ounces of oxide gold from 1998 to 1999, and benefits from extensive historical drilling, favorable host stratigraphy and new target zones identified by VRIFY’s DORA A.I. predictive modeling. Ongoing geophysics and geochemical programs in 2025 will refine drill targets ahead of a drilling program planned for 2026.

Nevada Sunrise is also advancing the Coronado Copper Project, where it holds the right to earn a 100 percent interest. Coronado is positioned for a planned geophysical program supported by good access and favorable terrain. In addition, the Company owns three lithium exploration projects – Gemini West, Jackson Wash and Badlands – all located in the Lida Valley in Esmeralda County.

To drive discovery across this portfolio, Nevada Sunrise integrates historical data with advanced geophysics, modern geochemical methods, and AI-driven exploration tools. This technology-enhanced approach, combined with experienced leadership and a strong technical team, is central to the Company’s strategy for building shareholder value.

Company Highlights

  • Flagship past-producing gold project in a Tier-1 jurisdiction: The Griffon Gold Mine project lies within Nevada’s prolific Battle Mountain–Eureka Trend, near producing mines and major gold developers.
  • AI-powered exploration strategy: Nevada Sunrise is using VRIFY’s predictive modeling to identify high-priority drill targets, an emerging technology rarely applied in Nevada.
  • Clear path to 2026 drilling: Soil, magnetic, IP/resistivity and CSAMT surveys in fall 2025 will feed into an updated AI model, enabling optimized drill targeting planned for 2026.
  • Highly experienced management and geological team: Leadership includes executives and advisors with decades of exploration success across Nevada and globally.
  • Diversified asset portfolio: Gold, copper and lithium assets create optionality across multiple mineral markets.

Key Projects

Griffon Gold Mine Project

Discovery Ridge Pit, Griffon Gold Mine Project, White Pine County, Nevada

Located approximately 50 km southwest of Ely, Nevada, the Griffon Gold Mine project consists of 89 unpatented mineral claims totaling ~1,780 acres. The project is positioned within a 60 km segment of the Battle Mountain–Eureka Gold Belt, one of Nevada’s most productive precious metals trends.

Project Highlights:

  • Past Production: Griffon was previously mined by Alta Gold (1998–1999) and produced 62,661 oz of oxide gold via heap leaching before its premature closure impacted by low gold prices (US$278/oz in 1999).
  • Geological Setting: Stratigraphy includes Pilot Shale, Chainman Shale and Joana Limestone – formations typical of Carlin-type gold systems in the region. Historical drilling and multi-element geochemical soil sampling show multiple gold-bearing horizons and Carlin-type pathfinder elements (antimony, arsenic, mercury, thallium).
  • AI-supported Target Generation: In March 2025, VRIFY was engaged to apply predictive modeling to the project. Results have identified new target zones, including those southwest of Hammer Ridge and the unmined Anvil Zone.
  • Path to Drilling: Biological surveys are planned for late winter to spring 2026, after which successful drill permitting is expected. The Company anticipates drilling could commence in late Q2 or early Q3 2026, pending receipt of approvals.

Coronado Copper Project

The Coronado copper project is a VMS-style copper exploration property located in the Tobin–Sonoma Range of Pershing County, Nevada, approximately 48 km southeast of Winnemucca and adjacent to the historic Big Mike open-pit copper mine, which produced high-grade copper in the early 1970s. The project comprises 133 unpatented claims covering about 2,660 acres, and Nevada Sunrise holds the right to earn a 100 percent interest. Exploration to date includes airborne VTEM surveying, ground gravity surveying, soil gas hydrocarbon soil sampling, and historical drilling data, and the Company is now advancing new geophysical modeling to refine drill targets in this underexplored district.

Gemini West Lithium Project

The Gemini West lithium project represents the remaining western portion of Nevada Sunrise’s former Gemini lithium project land package in the Lida Valley, following the September 2025 sale of 223 core Gemini claims to Dome Rock Resources for US$800,000, with Nevada Sunrise retaining a 2.0 percent NSR royalty on future production and 26 unpatented claims immediately to the west of the Gemini lithium deposit. and. Positioned near the historic town of Gold Point in Esmeralda County, Gemini West continues to provide the Company exposure to lithium exploration upside in a highly prospective basin, complementing its fully-owned Jackson Wash and Badlands lithium projects.

Jackson Wash Lithium Project

The Jackson Wash lithium project is one of Nevada Sunrise’s 100-percent-owned lithium assets located in the Lida Valley of Esmeralda County, Nevada. The project, covering approximately 420 acres, has been advanced through earlier technical work, and is positioned within a highly prospective basin that also hosts the Company’s Gemini West and Badlands projects. Jackson Wash forms a core part of Nevada Sunrise’s long-term critical metals strategy.

Badlands Lithium Project

The Badlands lithium project, staked by Nevada Sunrise Metals in 2022, covers approximately 240 acres of unpatented claims in the Lida Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada, situated about halfway between the company’s Gemini West and Jackson Wash lithium projects. Surface sampling in 2022 returned anomalous lithium values between 70 parts per million (ppm) and 165.8 ppm from outcrop, within flat-lying beds of volcanic ash, silt and gravel resembling playa-style sedimentary lithium systems.

Management Team

Warren W. Stanyer – President, CEO & Director

Warren Stanyer is a mineral exploration industry executive with over 29 years of experience in Canadian public company administration.

Angkor Resources Confirms Mussel Basin Target on Block VIII Oil & Gas License, Cambodia

(TheNewswire)

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire – (Dec. 4, 2025): Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces Mussel Basin as a fourth target for exploratory drilling based on data processing of the seismic program.

After identifying three significant closed anticline structures in South Bokor, Central Bokor, and North Bokor on the west half of Block VIII, EnerCam’s team has received preliminary processed data on the northeast target of Mussel Basin.   The seismic data supports our expectation that Mussel Basin is a rift fault bounded basin, probably of Cenozoic age (within the last 66 million years).   As such, the basin is significantly different structurally than the South, Central and North Bokor basins, and so are the potential prospect types.

Keith Edwards, Geophysicist for EnerCam, comments on the Mussel Basin, ‘The advantage of the Mussel  Basin is two-fold:  First, the drilling targets will be shallower.   Second, the reservoir porosity may be higher owed to less compaction.  We are reviewing the data for stratigraphic traps, for example, reservoirs that pinches out against a sealing rock or porous channel sand encased in impermeable shale.’

The Company anticipates a full seismic interpretation in December with drill targets prioritized. In the meantime, reprocessing of specific areas of data for removal of ‘noise’ for better resolution continues.   Cleaner data helps verify what the seismic data tells the team regarding the unconformities they see and more clearly define targets for drilling.

The company undertook a 350-line kilometre 2D seismic program over Block VIII, completing the program at the end of September.   Processing and interpretation of the seismic data has been ongoing since then.   The initial data identified that clear, large four-way closures were evident on South Bokor and Central Bokor and all three sub-basins on the west side of Block VIII had anticline structures.

ABOUT Angkor Resources CORPORATION:

Angkor Resources Corp. is a public company, listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange, and is a leading resource optimizer in Cambodia working towards mineral and energy solutions across Canada and Cambodia.

Its Cambodian energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources, was granted an onshore oil and gas license of 7300 square kilometres in the southwest quadrant of Cambodia called Block VIII.   The company then removed all parks and protected areas and added 220 square kilometres, making the license area just over 4095 square kilometres.  EnerCam is actively advancing oil and gas exploration activities onshore to meet its mission to prove Cambodia as an oil and gas producing Nation.

Since 2022, Angkor’s Canadian subsidiary, EnerCam Exploration Ltd., has been involved in oil and gas production in Saskatchewan, Canada with measures of gas capture to reduce emissions.  ANGKOR’s carbon capture and gas conservation project is part of its long-term commitment to Environmental and Social projects and cleaner energy solutions across jurisdictions.

The company’s mineral subsidiary, Angkor Gold Corp. in Cambodia holds two mineral exploration licenses in Cambodia with multiple prospects in copper and gold.

Dell family donation to offer 25 million kids $250 to open ‘Trump accounts’

Tech billionaires Michael and Susan Dell announced Tuesday that they are pledging $6.25 billion to create some 25 million additional ‘Trump Accounts’ for children across the country.

These accounts will be seeded with $250 each, and available for children who missed the eligibility cutoff for the $1,000 federally funded ‘Trump Accounts’ for babies born after Jan. 1, 2025.

Children living in ZIP codes with median incomes below $150,000 will be the first to receive the funds, the White House said.

‘The greatest investment that we could possibly make is in children,’ Susan Dell said alongside President Donald Trump at the White House.

‘It’s really an amazing moment that two people would do that kind of a contribution,’ Trump said.

The president said he was also talking to other wealthy donors and friends to potentially make similar contributions.

Asked how this donation came to be, Michael Dell said: ‘We started talking about Texas only at the beginning. And then we thought about it some more, and we went back and forth, as we do on these things, and this is where we ended up.’

The Dells said they considered making the pledge for a long time. But they said they didn’t want the pledge to be the end of their involvement.

Michael Dell encouraged states to ‘really grow financial literacy’ to help educate families about how the accounts and markets work.

‘These deposits will reach the accounts of most children age 10 and under who were born prior to the qualifying date for the federal newborn contribution,’ the Dells said in a statement issued by their foundation.

‘Children older than 10 may benefit, too, if funds remain available after initial sign-ups,’ the Dell family said. ‘It is an incredibly practical and direct step to help families begin saving today.’

The Dells say they ‘believe this effort will expand opportunity, strengthen communities, and help more children take ownership of their future.’

The Dell family gift “is expected to reach nearly 80% of children age 10 and under across 75% of U.S. zip codes,” according to the nonprofit Invest America.

Children born after Jan. 1 and until Dec. 31, 2028, will receive an account infused with a $1,000 investment from the U.S. Treasury, as part of the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill.

The accounts will open and begin accepting contributions starting on July 4, 2026. The accounts will initially be held by a financial firm designated by the Treasury Department, but later will be able to be transferred to any brokerage firm.

Those accounts will also be eligible for additional contributions of up to $5,000 per year until the beneficiary child reaches age 18. Withdrawals from the accounts are not permitted until the children reach that age.

Trump accounts can be invested only in low-cost index funds or ETFs that either mirror the S&P 500 or ‘another American stock index,’ according to the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

‘These investment accounts are simple, secure, and structured to grow in value through market returns over time,’ the Dell family said.

‘Trump Accounts represent a potentially valuable tool for building up savings and tapping the power of compound growth for the young,’ Charles Schwab tax planning director Hayden Adams recently wrote.

If a family could contribute and invest the maximum $5,000 per year in the accounts, and with a reasonable growth rate of about 6%, ‘by age 18, the child’s account would hold around $191,000 in assets.’

Once a child turns 18, the accounts are eligible to be converted to a traditional individual retirement account, ‘meaning it could continue to accumulate potential gains on a tax-free basis’ for many years.

The Dells are one of the wealthiest families in America, with a fortune of nearly $150 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires. The family’s primary source of wealth is Dell Technologies, the company founded by Michael Dell in 1984.

In recent years, the value of Dell shares have been fueled by the booming AI revolution, for which Dell is a supplier of servers and other technology.

Prada Group says it has purchased fashion rival Versace in a deal worth nearly $1.4 billion

MILAN — The Prada Group announced Tuesday that it has officially purchased Milan fashion rival Versace in a 1.25 billion euro (nearly $1.4 billion) deal that puts the fashion house known for its sexy silhouettes under the same roof as Prada’s “ugly chic” aesthetic and Miu Miu’s youth-driven appeal.

The highly anticipated deal is expected to relaunch Versace’s fortunes, after middling post-pandemic performance as part of the U.S. luxury group Capri Holdings.

Prada said in a one-line statement that the acquisition had been completed after receiving all regulatory clearances.

Prada heir Lorenzo Bertelli will steer Versace’s next phase as executive chairman, in addition to his roles as group marketing director and sustainability chief.

The son of co-creative director Miuccia Prada and longtime Prada Group chairman Patrizio Bertelli has said he doesn’t expect to make any swift executive changes at Versace. But Bertelli has said that the company, which places among the top 10 most recognized brands in the world, has long been underperforming in the market.

Prada has underlined that the 47-year-old Versace brand offered “significant untapped growth potential.’’

Versace has been in the midst of a creative relaunch under a new designer, Dario Vitale, who previewed his first collection during Milan Fashion Week in September. He had previously been head of design at Miu Miu, but his move to Versace was unrelated to the Prada deal, executives have said.

Capri Holdings, which owns Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo, paid $2 billion for Versace in 2018, but had been struggling to position Versace’s bold profile in the recent era of “quiet luxury.″

Versace represented 20% of Capri Holdings 2024 revenue of 5.2 billion euros. An analyst presentation for the Prada deal said that Versace would represent 13% of the Prada Group’s pro-forma revenues, with Miu Miu coming in at 22% and Prada at 64%. The Prada Group, which also includes Church’s footwear, reported a 17% boost in revenues to 5.4 billion euros last year.

The Prada Group has already begun preparations to incorporate crosstown rival Versace into its Italian manufacturing system, a point of pride for the group.

“Making a bag for one brand or another, the know-how is the same,″ Bertelli told reporters last week at the group’s Scandicci leather goods factory, which already makes bags for the Prada and Miu Miu brands and will soon add Versace.

The Prada Group’s has invested 60 million euros in its supply chain this year, including a new leather goods factory near Siena, a new knitwear factory near Perugia as well as increasing production at its factory Church’s footwear factory in Britain and expanding another Tuscan factory. That’s on top of 200 million euros in investments from 2019-24.

Prada’s efforts include an academy that has trained some 570 new artisans over the last 25 years in an in-house training academy operating in the Tuscany, Marche, Veneto and Umbria regions.

Last year, Prada hired 70% of the 120 artisans who trained in the academy. The number of trainees rose by 28% to 152 this year.

Shopify says a daylong Cyber Monday outage has been resolved

Outages on Shopify’s e-commerce platform have been resolved, the company said late Monday, bringing to an end a daylong glitch on the annual ‘Cyber Monday’ shopping day.

Some merchants that use Shopify’s service to sell goods online said they experienced issues with checkouts through the company’s point-of-sale system.

Businesses that run on Shopify also had trouble logging into their administrative portals.

In a statement, Shopify said: ‘We had a system degradation that has now been mitigated.’

Throughout the day, business owners posted angry messages directed at the company on X, where Shopify President Harvey Finkelstein had posted ‘HAPPY CYBER MONDAY! Let’s finish strong!’ earlier in the day, with an emoji of a flexed arm.

One business, Costack Spices, based in London, replied: ‘How??? [We] cannot fulfill orders or log on,’ with three red-faced emojis. In a follow-up, the company posted, ‘This is unbelievable.’

Another user wrote, ‘@ShopifySupport I haven’t been able to access it for the last couple hours.’

Shopify replied to most users on X with the same message: ‘We are aware of an issue with Admins impacting selected stores, and are working to resolve it.’

In 2024, merchants using Shopify services recorded $11.5 billion in sales from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, the company said, with more than 76 million customers buying from businesses powered by the platform.

Shopify provides website design tools, online checkout services and digital advertising products to businesses of all sizes. The company says that millions of merchants use its services.

While Shopify’s share of Cyber Monday sales may be limited, smaller businesses that rely on the company to process their transactions may have missed out on crucial sales at the start of the all-important holiday season.

Total Cyber Monday sales are expected to be more than $53 billion, according to Salesforce.

Shopify stock ended the trading day down 5.9%.

MIKE DAVIS: Why SCOTUS must reinstate Trump US Attorneys Alina Habba and Lindsey Halligan

On about two dozen occasions, the Supreme Court had to step in during President Trump’s second term because many inferior courts refused to accept that he is the president. The justices must do so again, after lower courts invalidated the appointments of acting U.S. attorneys Alina Habba of the District of New Jersey and Lindsey Halligan of the Eastern District of Virginia.

The Senate has a tradition that is over a century old called the blue slip. Home-state senators have an extraordinary power: the ability to veto U.S. marshals, U.S. attorneys, and U.S. district judges. In order for nominees to proceed, home-state senators must return a blue slip approving the nominations. Senators will never let this power go, so administrations have to bear the consequences. In New Jersey, leftist senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim have refused to allow the nomination of Alina Habba to serve as U.S. Attorney. Likewise, in Virginia, their fellow leftist senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner will not acquiesce to the nomination of Lindsey Halligan to serve as U.S. Attorney. As such, Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed Habba and Halligan to 120-day terms to serve on an interim basis, as 28 U.S.C. § 546 allows. Halligan replaced another interim prosecutor, Eric Siebert, who departed shortly before his 120 days lapsed.

After 120 days have expired, leftists asserted that Bondi can make no more appointments, only district judges can. The Executive Branch, this argument goes, has no say whatsoever after 120 days. This result would lead to a scheme where leftist senators can block President Trump’s nominees. Then, courts composed mostly of leftist judges in these blue states can install leftist puppet U.S. attorneys, and the Executive Branch must grin and bear it, just as with the blue slip process.

The 120-day limit first appeared in a statute in 1986. During the years of presidents Clinton and Bush, attorneys general made successive 120-day appointments under the statutory scheme in effect from 1986-2006, the same scheme as today. Yet, Clinton Judge Cameron Currie of South Carolina did not view this historical evidence as persuasive when she invalidated Halligan’s appointment. Halligan secured indictments against New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud and former FBI Director James Comey for false statements to and obstruction of Congress concerning the Russiagate hoax.

Those indictments are, for the moment, invalid. Currie’s opinion drips with disdain for Halligan, noting Halligan’s lack of prosecutorial experience. This issue is irrelevant to the legal question. Halligan, under Currie’s analysis, could have had three decades of prosecutorial experience, and her appointment would still have violated the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. Currie also quoted another irrelevant piece of evidence: President Trump’s social media post demanding Bondi move faster on prosecutions. Whether Halligan’s appointment is valid has nothing to do with that post. Its inclusion thus has no valid legal purpose.

The Appointments Clause vests appointment power in a president, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for principal officers. Congress can also require the advice and consent process to apply to inferior officers, and it did so with respect to U.S. attorneys. As such, presidents nominate U.S. attorneys, and the Senate confirms them. When there are vacancies, attorneys general can fill them for 120 days at a time, and a separate part of Section 546 allows for district courts to make appointments after the 120 days have expired. The Constitution grants department heads and courts the power to appoint inferior officers. District judges, for example, appoint magistrate judges.

Section 546 does not vest the authority to appoint U.S. attorneys exclusively in district courts. Under the reading of the judges who have invalidated the appointments of Habba and Halligan, a future President J.D. Vance’s attorney general could not make a 120-day appointment, either. The text of Section 546 does not specify a 120-day appointment per president. When one president’s attorney general makes a 120-day appointment, these judges absurdly prevent any future president’s attorney general from doing so in that district. District judges therefore have all the power until the Senate confirms a nominee one of these years or decades.

Fortunately, the issue now is ripe for Supreme Court review. This week, a Third Circuit panel ruled that Habba’s appointment is invalid. The justices should decide the cases together, even though the Fourth Circuit has not ruled on the Halligan appeal. There is only one circuit with all states that have Republican senators: the Fifth. This district court control could continue into the terms of a President Vance.

The easiest way to correct the lower court’s error is for the Supreme Court to hold that Section 546 allows attorneys general to make more than one 120-day appointment. Alternatively, the justices could hold that Section 546’s stripping of appointment power from the Executive Branch with respect to its officials violates the separation of powers.

In the face of immense criticism from Democrat politicians, the leftist media, and academic elites, the justices have intervened time and again to thwart unlawful interference by resistance lower courts. Because of the Supreme Court’s intervention on issues ranging from the ability to fire Executive Branch employees to the ability of the president to revoke temporary protected status from illegal immigrants, President Trump has been able to do his job far more effectively.

Bondi, Solicitor General John Sauer, and their team of stellar lawyers have amassed a success rate of over 90% at the Supreme Court. The justices must restore Habba and Halligan to preserve the separation of powers and prevent U.S. attorneys from being servants of district courts instead of presidents.
